Bid to dine with Lee Ann Womack

Two fans with deep pockets can have dinner with singer/songwriter Lee Ann Womack prior to her performance at the June 26 Giddy-Up Gala, if they place the winning bid in an online auction that closes June 4. Minimum bid is $500.

The Giddy-Up Gala will be at Crooked Willow Farms, a 90-acre ranch in the foothills west of Larkspur. In addition to Womack’s performance, there will be dinner and an auction that will feature a trip for two (including dinner & hotel) to the Country Music Aassociation Awards in Nashville.

Study after study has shown that when it comes to charitable fundraisers, Denver has more per capita than any comparably sized city in the nation. Joanne Davidson has been covering them for The Denver Post since 1985, coming here from her native California where she'd spent the previous seven years as San Francisco bureau chief for U.S. News & World Report magazine.
